[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My H is a coffee expert (former job) and here’s how he makes it:

1. You have to start with good beans. He gets his from the bulk section at fancier health food grocery stores. Usually he gets a couple types and mixes them (I believe French and Costa Rica)

2. Get whole beans and grind them just before you make coffee.

3. Use way more beans that you think you need. I swear he uses an entire cup.

4. Boil your water in a kettle. I don’t know why, but it tastes better.

5. Add the ground beans to the French Press.

6. Pour the boiling water over gently in a circular motion.

7. Do not stir. You want the grounds to form a crust at the top.

8. Let sit for 4 minutes.

9. Do not press the French press all the way down. Leave it at the top and pour.

I swear this makes the best coffee I’ve ever tasted. However, it is extremely complicated so I will never do it myself. But when H makes it for me, I am extremely grateful. It also makes the best iced coffee if you refrigerate it overnight. [/quote]

Yup this is pretty much what DH does after a lot of trial and error.   It really does make the best hot and iced coffee.  [/quote]
